I didn't know where to post this... So anyway a lot of ppl get on anti-depressants and gain weight. On Lexapro I could never get shredded. I've changed to Effexor and am wondering if anyone has any experiences?

Please tell me how Lexapro would have any effect on weight loss/gain...

Yes. They're notorious for that side-effect if you don't watch your intake.

Most cause severe water retention but also decrease appetite. Some increase appetite in addition to causing water retention.

Yeah I spent 3 days off Lexapro and started looking more ripped then got on Effexor and 3 days later I'm all puffy and soft... This has to be water retention.

I've been on antidepressants my whole lifting career. Is there a chance they're affecting my results?
The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.

Something I've never seen conclusively answered is whether antidepressants modulate appetite or metabolism. I've just started taking them myself, so I guess I'll have an answer haha

weight gain is a typical side effect of SSRI's. im assuming your referring to a brand of SSRI.
You are not a fragile ornament ready to collapse into an exhausted mass of goo simply because you squatted more than once in a 7-day week.
It'd be like preparing your entire life to bang 100 chicks in a row, getting tan, hitting the gym, making sure your hair looks right and reading the Kama Sutra, only to realize when you get there that you're gay and cannot get hard in the presence of women.
